Ignite The Mic presents, “Poetry & Improv.”

Do something different with your Sunday evening. We invite everyone to join us for an amazing night of artistry as poets, singers, musicians, and improvisors grace the stage.

Ignite The Mic Alexandria is the longest running poetry organization in Central Louisiana, and the number one gathering place for artists and lovers of the arts. Ignite The Mic is a local and privately funded creative initiative centered around unity, inclusion, diversity, and healing through the arts. We believe freedom of speech, self-determination, and the pursuit of creative excellence are inalienable rights. Furthermore, we believe poetry can be used to create a healthy dialogue about issues, often deemed taboo to discuss. We strive to create an understanding and appreciation for diverse perspectives by cultivating and amplifying creative voices. The purpose of this event is to promote the creation and performance of art that engages communities and provides a platform for artistic voices to be heard uncensored.

Featured Co-Hosts of the Night: Improvocations is a group of improvisers from all kinds of backgrounds in Central Louisiana who all believe in the importance of falling on their faces. Using short-form improv games (like you might see on an episode of Whose Line Is it Anyway?), performers create scenes with no script and only a suggestion from the audience as inspiration. It’s terrifying, it’s invigorating, it’s joyful, it’s terrible, but most of all it’s the art of play. Come improvise with us, cause a scene, and give yourself the permission to play!

Poets, singers, musicians, and more: the stage is yours! Want to sign up to showcase your talent? We’d love to have you. Contact: 318.769.9903
